With the exception of imported datasources that are not re-licensable,
you do realise though that the actual licensor of the data -is- the
OSMF? And that attributing "OpenstreetMap contributors" is at best a
sentimental relict (nothing against being sentimental, but that isn't
your argument) and is, if anything, more confusing and misleading than
simply asking for an attribution string that credits the project?
